American singer and entertainer, Beyonce Knowles, finally put the fake baby bump rumors to rest, with what is surely meant to be the final word on the matter. The 30-year-old soon-to-be mother took a walk through New York City on Friday, wearing a sexy and tight black dress that left no doubt about the state of her pregnancy. Earlier, there rumors that the announcement of Beyonce's pregnancy was false.

The R&B queen was first spotted in a tight and sexy black dress; she was also spotted showing her pregnant belly in a zip-front curve-hugging black dress, with a navy stripe.

Beyonce’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, had denied reports of her faked pregnancy and said that reports were stupid, ridiculous and false, according to a report in Us Weekly.

The speculations started when Beyonce appeared for an interview, in a pink dress, on Australia’s Sunday Night television program and her baby bump mysteriously folded in and collapsed, as she sat. After theat mysterious fold, the Internet was suddenly on fire with rumors and alleged reports contending that Beyonce was not really pregnant and could be wearing a prosthetic baby bump.

During that infamous interview, Beyonce also revealed that the baby was due in February 2012.

The speculations were heightened when reports suggested that Beyonce and her husband, Jay-Z, had hired a surrogate or were secretly planning to adopt. The soon-to-be mother was forced to counteract the rumors via her appearance on Sunday Night. Unfortunately, that only seemed to add to the speculations.

However, the Single Ladies artist was also snapped with an evident belly, while wearing a bikini, on vacation in Croatia.
